Concert Pieces for Viola and Piano

- 14 recital pieces presented in increasing order of difficulty
- Wide range of styles included

To complement the “Sassmannshaus Early Start on the Viola” method, Bärenreiter offer a selection of recital pieces tailored to this educational concept. This edition presents 14 pieces covering a wide stylistic spectrum, giving viola players a rich body of appealing concert pieces to choose from.
The works are arranged in increasing order of difficulty, the cornerstones being two works by Georg Eduard Goltermann; his technically simple “Andante religioso” and his demanding “Adagio” and “Tarantella”. Works by Kalliwoda, Fauré, Grieg, Dvorák, amongst others, are included.
